Whinwhistle Fisheries

As part of the PE curriculum, between March and October, pupils in Years 10 and 11 are given the opportunity to try pole fishing using maggots at the Whinwhistle Fisheries in East Wellow; a purpose-made site comprising of five spring-fed lakes, set in 36 acres of beautiful countryside. All equipment is provided on site, and higher ability pupils are taught problem solving skills which allow them to help and support less able pupils. The visits are overseen by John Hardeley, the owner of the fisheries.
